MyIDE

Desktop

Desktop Installation

Install TranslucentTB : A lightweight utility that makes the Windows taskbar transparent.
Install PowerToys : A set of utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows experience for greater productivity.
Install Snipaste : Offers powerful yet easy-to-use snipping, pasting and image annotating functionalities.
Install Captura : Capture screen, audio, cursor, mouse clicks and keystrokes.
Install dual-key-remap : Remap CapsLock to Escape when pressed alone and Ctrl when pressed with other keys. Don't forget to enable administrator access or else it doesn't work on administrator applications.
Install a nerd font : A patched font within high number of icons. I've merged two font families into one called NerdCodePro, so font engines will use different font on regular and italic style.
Install a cursor theme you'd like.
Press Win+I and check if there are any settings that need to be changed.

Insall PowerShell modules

scoop install oh-my-posh
Install-Module posh-git
Install-Module PSFzf
Install-Module ZLocation

Configure PowerShell $PROFILE by execute notepad $PROFILE in PowerShell command line, then overwrite the profile with the profile.ps1
Copy the prompt theme to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\PowerShell\base16_bear.omp.json

Configure %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig

[user]
  name = Your Name
  email = username@email.com
[core]
  editor = nvim

Configure %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config, thus you can push and pull from github via ssh with url git@github.com:user/repo. Of course, you need to add your own ssh public key to github first
```
Host github.com
   Hostname ssh.github.com
   Port 443
   User git
   IdentitiesOnly yes
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key.pem
```
You could find the document for wsl configuration section at here, the dotfiles in wsl/linux is still in the repo.

Tips:

You don't need to remenber all the git aliases, use your favorite git UI tool instead, such as lazygit, fork or gitkraken. The git aliases list above is just to tell you the basic git operations you should know.

You could use my config.yml if you choose lazygit, put it to %APPDATA%\lazygit\config.yml

Highly recommended for this blog post about git flow.
